Ask the Doctor
Questions about kidney disease? Risk factors? Signs and symptoms? Are you concerned about yourself, a friend or family member? Ask Dr. Spry.
The kidneys work 24/7 to filter 200 liters of blood each day, removing two liters of toxins, wastes and water in the process. In honor of National Kidney Month in March, the National Kidney Foundation urges all Americans to acquaint themselves with this vital pair of organs. To get started, Joseph Vassalotti, MD, the National Kidney Foundation Chief Medical Officer, helps put to rest some rumors about the kidneys. Can you filter kidney fact from fiction?

Trends in Federal and State Capital Investment in Highways
GAO-03-744R: Published: Jun 18, 2003. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2003.

Amid projections that freight traffic will increase 65 percent by 2020 and that traffic congestion will worsen, many transportation officials are concerned about the challenge of maintaining and improving the condition and performance of the nation's highway infrastructure. In 1998, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century increased funding for highways by 27 percent in real terms over the previous surface transportation authorization act--the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). Nevertheless, the Federal Highway Administration estimates that the nation will need to spend about $76 billion--or 18 percent more than it spent in 2000--each year through 2020 to maintain the average conditions and performance of the nation's highways and bridges, and about $107 billion or 65 percent more than it spent in 2000 to efficiently improve the highway system. These projections raise concerns because both the federal government and state governments are facing budget deficits in the years ahead, totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. As the Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works prepares to reauthorize TEA-21 and establish funding levels for the next several years, it asked us to provide historical information on the nation's investment in its highway infrastructure. In particular, the Subcommittee asked that we (1) identify overall trends in the nation's capital investment in its highway system over the past 20 years, particularly since the enactment of TEA-21 in 1998--and compare the trends in federal spending with the trends in state and local government spending; (2) determine how these trends in highway capital investment compare with the fiscal capacity of both the nation and individual states to fund these programs, particularly since the enactment of TEA-21 in 1998; and (3) provide information on sources of funds used by states for their highway programs.
The nation's capital investment in its highway system has more than doubled in real terms over the past 20 years. Although the nation's highway investment has increased, the nation's "level of effort" on highway capital spending--that is, investment relative to fiscal capacity, as measured by Gross Domestic Product--has remained relatively steady. Taxes on motor fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, have been the primary source of state highway funding. In addition to motor fuel taxes, state use revenues from other sources for highway projects, including vehicle and motor carrier taxes, tolls, and general fund appropriations.

Rick Astley rolling in for Hampton Court Palace Festival
4:20am Saturday 21st December 2013 in News By Clare Buchanan
Summer may seem a distant dream but Hampton Court Palace has made sure there is more than sunshine to look forward to, with the announcement of the line-up for next year's festival.
George Benson, the Beach Boys, Jamie Cullum, Rick Astley and Jason Donovan, Jools Holland and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will all perform in Henry VIII's open air courtyard.
Ten-time Grammy award-winner George Benson will perform hits from his impressive back catalogue including Give Me the Night, Lady Love Me and Turn Your Love Around as well as songs from his latest album Inspiration: A Tribute to Nat King Cole.
The Beach Boys are sure not to disappoint with their top hits, including Good Vibrations, Wouldn't It Be Nice and Surfs Up.
UK jazz artist Jamie Cullum will make his festival debut and pop sensations Rick Astley and Jason Donovan will perform a double-headliner singing all their big hits.
Astley says: "I am overjoyed to be playing at Hampton Court Palace.
"I've just moved and now live four minutes away, so Jason and I are going to have a garden party before the concert. It'll be like a home gig and the perfect way you start the summer."
Astley rose to fame in the 1980s and dominated charts around the world.
He still holds the record of being the only male solo artist to have his first eight singles reach the UK top 10 and in 2008 he won best act ever at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
Donovan has had a glittering career since the days of Neighbours and his subsequent success in the world of pop music.
He had taken up leading stage roles in Joseph, the Rocky Horror Show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Priscilla and the Sound of Music.
A sell-out favourite at Hampton Court Palace Festival, festival, Jools Holland will open the summer concerts.
The OBE will be joined by Gilson Lavis and special guests including Melanie C, Marc Almond, Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra also returns to the festival for another spectacular classical evening performing Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Elgar.

Location: Larabee Valley
On 03-08-2005 at approximately 5:00 am hours the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and the Humboldt County Drug Task Force with a search warrant set up surveillance on a secluded parcel of property located in the Larabee Valley area of Bridgeville. Officers concealed themselves in the tree line near a two story structure that contained a commercial indoor marijuana growing operation. At 1:00 p.m. officers observed a male subject drive onto the property in a pickup truck. Officers video taped the male subject get out of his pickup truck and walk over to the indoor marijuana growing structure. The male subject then used a key to open the front door to the structure and he walked inside.Approximately one minute later the male subject walked back outside. Officers then arrested him for cultivation and possession for sales of marijuana. Officers identified the male subject as John A. Church age 60, who lives in Bridgeville.When officers searched Church's pickup truck they located a loaded shotgun laying on the front seat. Church was then transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.Officers then processed the two story structure that contained the indoor marijuana growing operation. Officers seized 1,067 growing marijuana plants that ranged in size from 2 feet to 3 feet.Officers located a 60 k/w diesel generator inside a small shed near the indoor marijuana growing structure that was supplying electrical power to the indoor marijuana operation. Officers noticed evidence of oil and diesel contamination on the ground near the diesel generator. Officers noticed that the diesel generator exhaust vent was laying directly in a small creek behind the shed. Officers could see an approximate 2 foot by 3 foot black area in the creek where the exhaust vent was laying. Humboldt County Environmental Health was then contacted and responded to the scene to conduct an investigation. This case is still under investigation.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has reported that 900 Canadian Social Insurance Numbers were taken from its servers by someone exploiting the Heartbleed security vulnerability. The CRA is going through an analysis of other fragments of data, some of which relate to businesses, that also may have been breached. The breach apparently took place in a six-hour period after the bug was discovered but before the CRA closed public access to their online systems.
The CRA's Commissioner Andrew Treusch said in a statement that the agency will notify the individuals affected by the breach by registered letter. A dedicated 1-800 number has been set up to provide them with further information, including what steps to take to protect the integrity of their SIN. Please note that individuals will not be notified by email or telephone that they have been affected, in order to avoid scams.
Affected individuals will be given free access to credit protection services. The CRA will also apply additional protections to their CRA accounts to prevent any unauthorized activity.
On April 15, the RCMP charged Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes, a 19-year-old London, Ontario student, in relation to this "malicious breach of taxpayer data." Solis-Reyes is scheduled to appear in court in Ottawa on July 17, 2014. The RCMP says the investigation is still ongoing. It is being handled by the RCMP's National Division Integrated Technological Crime Unit (ITCU) and "O" Division.More on Heartbleed

Social Stories Research
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007 · Tagged generalization, intervention, maintenance, Research, schools and social stories · Permalink Comments (4)
An interested blogger asked the following question and I think it is a great one, so I thought I would respond, and hopefully this will help her, and others:
Educational professionals often teach social skills using social stories in one:one situations, not realizing that these skills do not generalize to the playground, the classroom, the community, etc. Where is there additional research to validate this position?
It is true that educational professionals often use social stories and that the skills do not always generalize to natural settings. This is actually true about many treatment approaches. If generalization is not planned, it is likely that it will NOT happen! This what we call the train and hope approach and it is pretty common to see that with social stories. However, if used appropriately and well-planned, this approach can be effective, although it is not clear in the research how effective.
Most studies I have read have shown that social stories are pretty effective for teaching specific concepts to children such as language, social skills, play, vocational, and self-help skills. The majority of these studies show that the approach is effective, but they also tend to use the social stories in conjunction with other approaches (e.g. modeling, rehearsal, feedback, etc.). I have not seen many studies that solely look at social stories and those that do tend to show that some children are successful, while others may not be.
The biggest issue with the social stories research is that data on maintenance and generalization are not always reported and when they are, they tend to have modest or no maintenance and generalization.
In clinical practice, I have seen social stories work, but again, they are typically used in conjunction with other practices and generalization of the skills is specifically planned out.
Although there are a large number of studies on this approach, I have not been able to identify a randomized efficacy study or even a study using more than 3-4 children. If anyone knows of a study like this, please let me know and I will post it here!
In sum, I would suggest that if social stories are used that the facilitators do the following 3 things to maximize their success:
1) Make them motivating! You can do this by doing the social stories in PowerPoint or similar programs on the computer and adding in sound, music, etc. to keep it interesting for the child. You can also incorporate things that the child likes into the social story to get them interested in it. I once worked with a boy who loved music, particularly The Beatles. He had some difficulties with his peers during lunchtime, so we opted to try social stories. Initially, he hated them, but read them anyway and could answer all of the questions we asked him about the stories. But alas, he did not generalize at all to the actual lunch time experience. Next, we made a PowerPoint slide and incorporated The Beatles music and even some cartoon pictures of the band from their old cartoon. He found this very amusing and was very attentive. He did not generalize this initially, but he started to tell his friends about the story. So, we decided to have the boy sit down at the computer and show the slides to his classmates one at a time and then talk about the social story. That seemed to work, not sure which part, but it did work, and the behavior was maintained for the rest of the school year.
2) Track Progress! Often, social stories are just used without any data tracking system. It is important to figure out what you are trying to change and to objectively measure it. It is the only way you will know if it works.
3) Plan for Generalization! Don't just wait for it to happen, figure out what your next steps will be to generalize the behavior. Will you add more social stories? Will you add more environments and situations? Will you change the words or pictures to the stories? Will you do the stories with different people?

In this special section devoted to our Guest Editor of the Month Nicci French discover more about their novels and find out first hand from them the books that have left an indelible mark on their mind and inspired or influenced their writing.
Top notch gritty, psychological suspense
When it comes to writing two heads are clearly better than One for our Guest Editor this month is two people... Confused, well don't be it's because it is the husband and wife writing partnership that is Nicci French (Nicci Gerrard and Sean French).
They have quickly established themselves as leading lights in the murky waters of psychological crime writing and are now well into a brilliant first series, featuring psychotherapist Frieda Kein. Blue Monday was the first thrilling instalment in the Frieda Klein series, followed by Tuesday's Gone. The latest in the series, Thursday's Children, is out now.
Sean French on... Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis CarrollAlice is as much a part of our cultural memory as Don Quixote or Robinson Crusoe or Sherlock Holmes. Like all great books, you can't quite grasp: it's incredibly clever, rather creepy, utterly hilarious. (Fact: The Mad Hatter's tea party is the funniest set-piece in literature.) And the illustrations are great as well. And it's got a great sequel!London Journal by James BoswellThere are confessional memoirs, self-lacerating memoirs and then there's Boswell's journal. I read this account of a young man on the make in 18th London when I was a young man not on the make in 20th century Oxford. It taught me that literature must be honest, utterly unsparing, unembarassable, and then some. A story of love, STDs and meeting Dr Johnson.The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John Le CarreThere are certain touchstones I have for thriller writing and this is one of them. Its dingy Cold War atmosphere is unmatched, it has a fiendishly intricate plot that out-Christies Agatha Christie. Even the title is a work of genius. Something to try to live up to.Nicci Gerrard on...Moominland Midwinter by Tove JanssonThe books we love as children never leave us. I was completely enchanted by the Moomin books when I was small, and their hold over me seems to have grown. We've read them to our children numerous times. They are funny, eccentric, mystical and profound - madcap masterpieces that speak to the human heart. Waterlog by Roger DeakinRoger Deakin set out to swim his way through the British Isles: an icy, salty, weedy, murky journey in seas, lakes, rivers, canals, moats, even ditches. The result is a frog's eye view of strange and wonderful places. It's also a glorious tribute to the act of wild swimming, which for him (and for me) is a way to find freedom, exhilaration and peace.To the Lighthouse by Virginia WoolfSome people think modernism is chilly and unemotional: not this modernist masterpiece, which made me long to write. It's a miraculous novel about time, which passes over everything, about art and the act of writing, about families, about human loneliness, about love.

Interesting and I agree with what they say. The only way we can fix our fiscal mess is to have the political spectrum from left to right agree on the scope of the problem and work on solutions. No party will be able to reform entitlements on their own. Most of our political class doesn´t seem to care.

Don´t count on any Demonrats to display "courage, conviction and compassion" in order to change the on-going theft. They are the architects of the destruction. Any Demonrat who can grab a microphone is spouting off the nonsense that we do not have a spending problem. I hope history informs future generations that it was the Demonrat party´s greed and power lust that sowed the seeds of destruction.

Is this part of the behavior in 188.8.131.52 or an "Id10T error"?
On my development laptop I have different options under the Settings in SD.
The main one is Turning on/off static background is missing on my Infill T3.
I know on previous versions that the Infill was locked down on the maximum framerate you could also set by Streetdeck(I think it was 15 Fps). I now dont have an option to adjust the framerate.
I am happy with the performance of the latest version, but justed wanted to make sure that these were removed as the best options were already configured for the hardware.

It's racy and NSFW but funny, so check it out! Two episodes have been posted. Next week, Thursday, Episode 3 is posted starring Felicia (Codex)!

Cyber Monday may have come and gone, but there are still plenty of consumers looking to shop online for that perfect gift during the holiday season.
As such, Connecticut Banking Commissioner Howard F. Pitkinissued a reminder to state consumers on Monday to be on guard for scam artists when making online purchases.
"Purchasing gifts online is a very convenient way to find that perfect holiday gift," Pitkin said in a press release. "Unfortunately, this is the time of year that scam artists take advantage of the higher volume of online shoppers."
Pitkin offered the following tips to help consumers protect their personal financial information:
Do business only with merchants you know and trust. High-tech scammers use graphics or logos which appear to be legitimate, so be certain the websites you visit are genuine.
Be suspicious of websites that don't allow you to easily verify a company's legitimacy by clearly providing a physical address, telephone number and e-mail address.
Before completing a purchase or financial transaction, be sure that the website you're visiting supports secure transactions. Your browser should clearly indicate when you link to a secure location. Look for a URL that begins with https:// and a browser icon displaying either an unbroken key or a closed padlock.
Always keep records of your online transactions.
Always review your monthly credit card and bank statements for any errors or unauthorized purchases.
"An online scammer will not hesitate to use your credit card number to go on a shopping spree, racking up bills to your account," said Pitkin. "While Internet shopping has become more secure than ever, there are steps you can take to help protect your personal financial information."
Protecting personal financial information isn't the only thing that online shoppers should keep an eye out for.
State Department of Revenue Services Commissioner Kevin Sullivan issued a reminder to consumers that simply because an online retailer does not collect state sales tax doesn't mean that item is tax-free.
"When online retailers fail to collect and remit tax on sales made into Connecticut, they pass the buck to consumers to report and pay state use tax," Sullivan said in a press release.
Amazon.com is collecting state sales taxes this year, Sullivan said, but many others are not. Those who shop online are legally responsible for calculating the tax on items they purchase and paying it to the state, Sullivan said.

Looks like Firefox 3.5 broke this CSS:
div.xxx:first-letter {font-size:xx-large; color:red}
The first letter is not colored or bigger if the first char is the Unicode ∑ (N-ARY SUMMATION; U2211).
Here's a screenshot of what Firefox 3.5 shows:
Try this test page to see what your browser show: CSS first-letter pseudo-element test page.
As of , in {IE, Safari, Opera}, all the first characters are rendered large and red, regardless whether it is technically a letter.
As of , in IE9, Safari, Opera, Chrome, all highlight the first character.
Versions before Firefox 3.5 works fine.
The question is, is Firefox 3.5's behavior correct by W3C? The spec is here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#first-letter
However, the spec is not exactly clear on this.
I think it's better if it applies to all Unicode chars, and just the first char, no exceptions.
Emulating the traditional publication behavior is quite vague and problematic. For example, the spec says if the first letter is a double quote, then that double quote should also be cap'd alone with the letter after the double quote. Also, it says if the first char is digits such as 3, it should be cap'd too.
These are problematic and inconsistent. If emulating tradition is focused, then digit chars shouldn't apply. But, including the quotation char as part of the "first-letter" is also problematic, because it breaks simplicity and consistency.
It would be much simpler and consistent, and probably more applicable to today's digital world, if the pseudo-element "first-letter" is "first-char" instead. For those who needs to cap the first punctuation char alone with the letter that follows, they might as well do special CSS for those cases, or, W3C really should have tags like second-letter, last-letter (for last punctuation, usually closing quotation char.).
Jukka K Korpela gives a good analysis of the situation:

Recent Archaeological Discoveries from
Northern China
June 16, 2012 - October 21, 2012
In 1908, the Institute's founder Sterling Clark organized a scientific expedition to North China to document the region's terrain and ecology. To commemorate the centennial of this journey, in 2008 the Institute initiated a series of collaborations with Chinese arts agencies and museums. This cultural exchange initiative culminates at the Clark this summer with a special presentation of recent archaeological discoveries from the Shanxi and Gansu provinces never before seen outside of China.
Unearthed was organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in association with Art Exhibitions China and is supported by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Kentucky has received a commitment from quarterback Patrick Towles from Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, Ky.
Towels chose Kentucky over offers from Vanderbilt, Louisville, Cincinnati and Illinois. He made his commitment to Kentucky after taking a visit to Lexington on Friday.
Towles has been taught at Highlands by a coach familiar to Kentucky fans – former Wildcat quarterback Jared Lorenzen.
"He was a great talent who played in the NFL, won a Super Bowl, and he's been great for me," Towles said. "He's been supportive through this whole process. He didn't put any pressure on me to go to UK, and he would have supported me if I went somewhere ese. But when I called him and told him I had committed (to Kentucky), he was excited."
Lorenzon played quarterback at Kentucky from 2000-2003. He played in the NFL with the New York Giants from 2006-2007.
Towles is the third commitment for Kentucky's class of 2012.

Pearly Garden Party Candles
Leafing paint and painted contact paper transform plain glass into easy to make mosaic accents.
Designed by Michelle Gregory, courtesy of Krylon®.
Material List
- Krylon® Indoor/Outdoor Paint - your choice of 3 colors
- Krylon® Leafing Pen (Any Color)
- Clear Glass Candleholder
- Clear Contact® Paper
- Scissors
Project Instructions
Wash and dry candleholders thoroughly. Set aside.
Cut 3 sheets of Contact® paper, approximately 10" square. (Depending on size of candleholders, this may vary.)
Place all 3 sheets paper side down and anchor corners to prevent curling. Spray each piece of Contact paper with a different color of Indoor/Outdoor paint. Let dry. Spray lightly with Make it Pearl. Let dry completely.
Turn painted sheets over. There is a 1/2" grid pattern on the paper side of the Contact paper. Cut the sheets into 1/2" strips.
For each candleholder use 3 colors of painted paper. Remove backing from several strips of each color to reveal the sticky side. Anchor an edge of each strip onto work surface, leaving the rest of the strip hanging down. (Hint: this step will make your mosaic work go faster.)
Snip several 1/2" squares from one color and place near top edge of candleholder, spaced slightly apart. (Please note: this type of mosaic work is not an "exact" art, so your squares and spacing should vary in size). Referring to photo, use squares of all 3 colors to finish the first row.
When you start the second row, and each row thereafter, be sure to leave a little space between rows, and try to place squares so they do not line up exactly with squares above them. Please refer to the photograph for example.
After you have completed all rows, be sure that all edges on squares are adhered to the surface. With Leafing Pen, fill in all clear spaces on glass. From time to time you will need to press the tip of the pen down for more paint. Have a scrap piece of paper or cardboard ready to use for this purpose. Keep a lot of paint on the tip so that stroke marks aren't visible. Let dry.

Dani Rodrik and Arvind Subramanian argue that emerging markets are not hapless victims of the US Federal Reserve (and other central banks) but merely reaping what they have chosen to sow.

WHAT IS IT? A top-of-the-line goggle from Utopia Optics.
CONTACT: www.utopiaoptics.com or (760) 918-9292.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Utopia Warrant goggle.
(1) Lens. The lens is the most important part of any goggle. The clear Utopia Warrant lens is coated with an anti-fogging solution and is said to be scratch resistant. In reality, the lens does an exceptional job at resisting scratches (better than most goggles that we've ever tried). As for fogging, the goggle only fogged up when we stopped on the track to rest for a minute.
(2) Frame. This is the most flexible frame we've ever seen. We were able to contort it into a pretzel shape without the lens or frame showing any creases or breaks. What does this mean? The Warrant frame is durable and can easily bend to match various face shapes. The frame provides ample peripheral vision from side to side and top to bottom.
(3) Strap. The strap is the only part of the Utopia Warrant goggle that test riders complained about. Although it comes with the standard 1-1/2-inch-wide strap, the elasticity in the strap doesn't allow for much stretching. Test riders felt that the strap always felt too tight or too loose against their faces. On the plus side, the strap retention system was easy to use, and the back of the strap was outfitted with a strip of silicone (although more silicone would be nice).
(4) Foam. Utopia didn't get overly elaborate with the foam. The first layer is thin and dense, while the second layer is thick and soft. The foam sandwich is topped off with a layer of felt. Riders weren't able to sweat through the foam, meaning that the foam is more than sufficient for a long moto.
(5) Tear-off posts. The Warrant has built-in tear-off posts and comes with a separate film anchor on the strap. We were able to get five tear-offs loaded onto the goggle before vision became milky. Utopia sells 20 pack of regular tear offs for $12.00 and 50 pack for $29.00. Utopia also offers laminated tear offs for the Warrant and Slayer Pro goggles they're available in stacks of 7 and come in a pack of 14 for $16.00 and pack of 28 for $32.00. Also available is their CVS System ( Roll Off System ) for the Warrant, Slayer Pro, Slayer and Too Dirty Goggles.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? We would like to see a more elastic strap and increased silicone on the back of the strap.
The Warrant goggle is a very impressive offering from Utopia. We loved the scratch-resistant lens, triple-layer foam, sharp looks and flexible frame.

Special Offer
The Capacity to Love
No matter how head-over-heels your guy is during the initial honeymoon period of the relationship, it doesnt mean he is ready to commit. A man might fall in love, which requires the capacity to idealize. That means thinking and feeling like his partner and the relationship are uniquely special, enabling him to ignore imperfections, which, in turn, makes him feel valued and special.
Loving, on the other hand, involves connecting with the other person, understanding her, and wanting to be with her for who she is, not who hed like her to be.
While it might be difficult to decipher the difference between the two, one clue is the test of time. Falling in love happens early on in a relationship, when a couple barely knows each other. Once they become more intimate and learn more about each others positive and negative traits and the initial love buzz is gone, a man who is only in love will lose interest. If he truly loves, hell stay.
Another major telltale sign of real love is selflessness and the ability to care. Does your man make sacrifices for you? Is he able to put your wants and needs before his? Relationships are all about give and take, but love is more about giving.

A group seeking reform of Georgia's marijuana laws will head to the state capitol on today, Jan. 14 to begin an educational campaign for its legalization, beginning with medical use of the drug.
James Bell, director of Georgia C.A.R.E., said the marijuana reform coalition wants to start a public discussion on the impact marijuana laws have on the criminal justice system and the public. According to their website, Georgia C.A.R.E. is a project of the Georgia Taxpayers Alliance, Inc. They have a link to NORML, a national group that advocates for the legalization of marijuana, on their website.
Bell said with the Georgia General Assembly studying reform of the criminal justice system and criminal sanctions, marijuana law reform should also be considered.
"You can not talk about reducing the prison population and reforming Georgia's criminal code without considering reforming marijuana laws", Bell said. "We want lawmakers to take a close look at the impact these laws have on our state. We have sat on this issue for far too long."
Each year, nearly 40,000 arrests are made for violations of marijuana laws putting a strain on the criminal justice system, wasting tax dollars and diverting law enforcement resources away from more serious offenses.
About 40 of the drug arrests made by Holly Springs Police Department last year were for charges related to marijuana. For the Cherokee Sheriff's Office, the agency had 298 marijuana-related arrests in 2012.
The first step in reform is to review the medical marijuana law passed unanimously in 1980 by the general assembly, according to Bell. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have passed medical marijuana measures with no negative impact on public safety.
Georgia C.A.R.E. Legislative Priorities include:
- Cannabis (Marijuana) as a Schedule Substance: Designate cannabis (marijuana) as a Schedule V (5) (O.C.G.A. 16-13-29) substance consistent with the "Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Act", (O.C.G.A. 43-34-120).
- Special Study Committee on Therapeutic Medical Marijuana: Establish a special study committee to examine reforming and expanding Georgia's medical marijuana laws (O.C.G.A. 43-34-120); allow stakeholder to offer testimony on the issue and make recommendations for legislative reform.
- Special Study Committee on Marijuana Decriminalization: Study the impact of Georgia's marijuana laws on the criminal justice system and public safety to make recommendations to the Georgia General Assembly concerning law reform.

AV-Test.org 2010 Test Results
The independent AV testing organization AV-Test.org recently released the last results of its monthly "Full Product Tests". The Full Product Tests are a comprehensive look at anti-malware products' ability to protect end users in real-life situations. It covers three main areas of each product: Protection, Repair and Usability. Under each area there are multiple sub-tests, such as signature detection, behavioural or dynamic detection, etc. The detailed results are available at www.av-test.org/certifications.
In order to gain certification a product has to achieve a minimum score of 12 or above. The results are very revealing, with many products not reaching the mininum score nor the certification. We are happy to announce that in the 3 quarters that AV-Test.org has conducted these tests, Panda Internet Security has achieved the certification in all cases.
On a related note, AV-Test.org recently surpassed the 50 million unique malicious sample mark. This is aligned with what our Collective Intelligence servers have analyzed and processed automatically, which is up to 146 million files (both good and bad files).

I would like to thank Telluride Arts for awarding me a small grant for my August Art show with Flair Robinson at Gallery 81435.

New this year is the S line Competition Package, which adds an S line interior, nineteen-inch rotor wheels wrapped in summer performance tires, a rear spoiler, a front splitter, and black exhaust tips and rear diffuser, among other items...more
We've been waiting for the wicked TT RS for years, and it's finally here. Audi seems to have its timing backward—the RS should have been the first TT to show up, positioned as a performance halo car. Instead, the regular TT came here first, and it developed a bit of a chick-car image. Yes, the TT might look cute, but it's actually quite sporting. Audi tried to remedy its cutesy image with the TT S model, which is quick, sharp, and a blast to drive, but it is unfortunately not available with a manual transmission. Consequently, the TT RS had its work cut out for it in the image department. Once we finally drove one, however, we found it to be a brilliant sports car. In addition to a menacing turbocharged-five soundtrack, the RS scares off its prey with a magnetorheological suspension that continually adjusts its firmness for crisp handling without a punishing ride. The nineteen-inch wheels can only partly obscure the TT RS's enormous brakes: 14.6-inch cross-drilled rotors with four-piston RS-badged calipers in front and 12.2-inch vented rotors in back. With the help of a forged crankshaft, the turbo five makes mincemeat of the TT RS's relatively light weight (about 3300 pounds) and catapults it to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Chick car? Not a chance.
Front, side, and knee air bags; ABS; traction and stability control; and active front headrests are standard. Adaptive HID headlights are optional.
